The development of quantum networks (QNs) relies on efficient mechanisms for distributing entanglement among multiple quantum users (QUs) under practical system constraints. This paper investigates the problem of entanglement rate maximization in a dual-connectivity (DC) wireless quantum network comprising multiple quantum base stations (QBSs). Under the DC architecture, each QU can associate with up to two QBSs, thereby enhancing resource utilization compared to conventional single-connectivity (SC) schemes. The joint QBS-QU association and entanglement generation rate allocation problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem that incorporates practical constraints, including limited QBS entanglement generation capacity as well as heterogeneous minimum entanglement rate demands and fidelity requirements for QUs. To efficiently solve this challenging problem, an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm is developed, which decomposes the original formulation into entanglement rate allocation and association subproblems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DC architecture significantly outperforms SC schemes, while the AO algorithm achieves near-optimal performance with substantially reduced computational complexity.

Current spectrum-sharing frameworks struggle with adaptability, often being either static or insufficiently dynamic. They primarily emphasize temporal sharing while overlooking spatial and spectral dimensions. We propose an adaptive, AI-driven spectrum-sharing framework within the O-RAN architecture, integrating discriminative and generative AI (GenAI) to forecast spectrum needs across multiple timescales and spatial granularities. A marketplace model, managed by an authorized spectrum broker, enables operators to trade spectrum dynamically, balancing static assignments with real-time trading. GenAI enhances traffic prediction, spectrum estimation, and allocation, optimizing utilization while reducing costs. This modular, flexible approach fosters operator collaboration, maximizing efficiency and revenue. A key research challenge is refining allocation granularity and spatio-temporal dynamics beyond existing models.
